Poems of the Week The Mane Event by Steven Kent “”Boxer Jarrell Miller has hairpiece punched off in split-decision victory” —The New York Times’ “The Athletic” A thrilling night: A jab! A slug! But then, mid-fight, He lost his rug, And yet with blows He triumphed there (Though by a nose, Not by a hair). How very nice To win this way— So small, the price He had toupee.
One of the few news stories that made me smile recently, and it's brilliantly captured in Steven Kent's poem in @lightpoetrymag.bsky.social 's Poems of the Week. Oh, how I love to read a good pun.
Big thanks to all who submitted work this time, and congrats to featured poets Brendan Beary, Steven Urquhart Bell, Thomas Germana, Steven Kent, @paullander.bsky.social & Kaitlyn Spees.
